The Cowboys spent real capital to be 109 picks early on Jaylon Hutchings, and the board is going to hold them to it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
That Guyton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 24 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Tyler Guyton in slot 56 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Trey Benson at pick No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 38, where Marist Liufau graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jaylan Ford in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Good price on Frank Gore Jr. in the 233rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A wild overpay on Jaylon Hutchings in Round 7, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
